M. Night Shyamalan executive produces daughter Saleka’s music video for her single Mr. Inspiration

She’s the daughter of The Sixth Sense filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan.

And Saleka Night Shyamalan, 24, is seeking to carve out a career in pop music. 

She’s just released a music video for her single Mr. Incredible, and keeping it in the family the video is directed by her younger sister Ishana with her famous father credited as executive producer.

According to the blurb posted alongside the video on Vevo, the song is ‘about relationships and mental health…. told through the voice of a woman trying desperately to communicate with a partner who is constantly falling into depression.’

The promo continues: ‘Loving him is like chasing a ghost, and in trying to reach him and keep him close she instead ends up fragmenting her own self.’

Saleka, who wants to be known only by her first name, is the eldest of three daughters Shyamalan shares with wife Bhavna Vaswani.

The family live on a country estate just outside Pennsylvania.

In an interview with website Just Jared published Wednesday, Saleka talks about how the song inspired the dark and moody feel of the music video. 

‘My sister Ishana, my dad and I were drawn to the idea of a woman whose partner is always half present- almost ghost like. I kept coming back to the image of this couple living in a house that is abandoned and falling apart around them,’ she explained.

‘We ended up finding the perfect location. In our first visit to the house we brought a speaker and played the song as we walked through, and something clicked,’ she went on.

‘While scary and unsettling, its structure was majestic and enticing, and there was beauty in the way it was falling apart- the faded colors and cracked mirrors, the textures of the wallpaper as it crumbled off the walls, the vines growing in through broken windows… That house really oriented the whole video.’
